    I've used ATT for years and been happy with them. I go to WI alot now and seem to get dead areas along I90-94 on the 4G side but can still make calls ok.

    Switched from TMO to Verizon years ago and been happy with the Coverage.

    I tried Sprint to save some money a couple years ago, I lasted a week or so.

    Definitely Verizon. I'm not crazy about the phone I have with them (Moto E, 2nd Gen) but their coverage is outstanding from my experience. I've been in quite a few situations where my co-driver couldn't get a signal and I'm showing 3 or 4 bars on my phone. Happens a lot in the desert and certain other places along I-10.

    AT&T.

    I used Verizon for a long time but I got tired of paying their exorbitant prices. I've had no issues with AT&T , no dead zones or dropped calls, and I get three times the data for the same price as I was paying at Verizon. The fact that my company offers a 10% discount with AT&T doesn't hurt either.
